How to Reverse Sun Damage

Summer is almost over and many of us discover changes in our skin when we look into the mirror. Sun exposure causes severe damage to your skin which can lead to premature aging, wrinkles and sun spots. The best way to protect yourself from sun damage is still the pesky sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30. However, here are a few things you can do when the damage is done:

For mild sun spots, you may want to start out with a dark spot correcting cream containing niacinamide.

For more severe sun damage, use a medical grade skincare line that includes Retin-A and/or Hydroquinones. These topical medications can make your skin cells healthier again and reduce the appearance of sun spots and skin pigmentation. One to try is SkinFuse, a skincare line created to work in conjunction with micro-needling treatments. SkinFuse products are available for purchase at RejuvaTrim Aesthetics.

You can also ask your dermatologist for a prescription of hydroquinone with tretinoin (Retin-A). You should see results in a month.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a laser procedure that turns sun spots dark and they flake off after a few days.

Chemical peels can also dramatically improve your skin. Glycolic acid peels are the mildest version of this treatment while trichloroacetic acid (TLA) is the most aggressive. Your skin will be peeling for a few days but the results are impressive.

The Dermaplaning Facial provides a smooth, glowing look to the skin. It reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation, stimulates circulation, reduces acne scarring as well as fine lines and wrinkles. It also allows for better product penetration and overall more youthful appearance. This is achieved by removing the vellus hair (peach fuzz) and dead skin cells. Dermaplaning is available at RejuvaTrim Aesthetics in Pensacola, Florida.

Medical grade micro-needling is a procedure that restructures your skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, scars and age spots as well as improving your complexion. One to six treatments may be necessary with improvements continuing even after six months. This procedure is pain-free with no downtime and it is available at RejuvaTrim Aesthetics.

Sun will cause premature skin aging which can result in thinner, wrinkled skin. Venus Legacy skin tightening treatments will not address sun spots but will definitely improve skin tightness and reduce wrinkles by inducing collagen production. Venus Legacy treatments are exclusively available at RejuvaTrim Aesthetics. The best part, these treatments are pain-free, take less than an hour and there is absolutely no downtime.
